Reddit user Jimeowan has compiled a list of the “completely free” games available on Steam.
These include any game that has no paid DLC and no in-app purchases, making games like Dota 2 and Team Fortress noticeable omissions.
The games are sorted by their respective Steam review scores and show Steam cards where applicable.
An asterisk has been added where the game allows for the purchasing of additional non-gameplay related content (including soundtracks, artbooks, etc.)
